Microsoft also offers a Video on how to install the program in your PC or Laptop. Microsoft wants us to disable any other Antivirus, Antispyware program which we are already using, so don't forget to uninstall any security suite if you decide to use Security Essentials Software.

The issue here is can this program offer protection as other security suites like Norton, Kaspersky and Quick Heal. I am presently using Norton 360 V4.0 and i believe that Norton offers me much better protection that Microsoft. So i stay with Norton. If you are using any free antivirus programs and cannot afford to buy a genuine copy of security suites like Norton, Kasperesky and Quick Heal This software is definitely for you. Download and install it today.
